Cat Cafes in Malaysia

Purradise Cat Cafe, TTDI

The popular Purradise Cat Cafe in TTDI is a great hangout spot that offers drinks, light meals, and 24 rescue cats that you can play and chill with. Pay just RM18 per person to stay for an hour, and get a free drink in return. You can also stay longer at a surcharge or with an additional meal or drink purchase, all priced reasonably at under RM16.

The money earned from sales are channeled back into Purradise’s pet fostering and re-homing initiative, which includes supporting cat rescue activities such as TNR (Trap, Neuter and Release). While some resident cats will remain in the cafe as their fur-ever home, most cats at Purradise are up for adoption (for free!).

Cafe & Cat Garden, Seri Kembangan

This cosy cat cafe in Seri Kembangan is perfect to enjoy the company of some cute and friendly cats and some delicious local fare such as Laksam, Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Gulai and Nasi Lemak Kukus. The cafe also serves up some simple western fare including pasta, lamb chop, chicken chop, and coffee, all at reasonable prices.

Clean and hygienic, the Cafe & Cat Garden has a separate eating area and cats play area. Visitors must wash or sanitize their hands before entering and touching cats, and they even provide a lint roller to pick up cat hair from your clothes after playing!

Purrfect Cat Cafe, Penang

Lined up in one of Penang’s most hip and popular streets – Muntri Street in Georgetown – the Purrfect Cat Cafe houses around 14 cats and costs only RM13 to enter, with no time limit. The fee goes towards the cats’ welfare, and food and beverage is optional to order.

The space is huge with many climbing and playing equipment, including a giant walking wheel, and visitors can see immediately how the cats just love their home. This cat cafe in Penang is the purr-fect place if you just want to play with cats without the obligation to eat or drink.

C.A.T.S (Cats At Their Sanctuary) Cafe, JB

The first cat cafe in JB, the C.A.T.S. Cafe does not disappoint. With over 20 cats and kittens roaming the cafe, highly well-reviewed desserts and super classy, insta-worthy decor, this cat cafe in JB is a great place to have fun and enjoy a great meal with friends and family. It’s free to enter if you order food and drinks, otherwise it’ll cost just RM15 for the entrance fee, which goes towards helping them maintain the cats and facilities.

Although you’ll be dining with the cats roaming around you, the cafe is clean and hygienic – guests are encouraged to wash hands before and after playing with cats, and you have to leave your shoes outside before entering.

Helo Cat Cafe, Putrajaya

This cat cafe in Putrajaya houses around seven resident cats and serves small finger food such as garlic bread, and larger mains such as chicken chop, all for under RM15 each. Drinks are reasonably priced, too, at under RM5. Being a self-service cafe, they can keep prices low and allow patrons to focus on having fun with their cats.

You’ll love taking pics at this cat cafe – their walls are filled with cat-themed decals and art, and the cat play room has a multitude of toys, baskets and boxes for you to frame the best Instagram shot with your favourite cat. When you’re done playing, you can enjoy a light meal in the separate dining area, or check out some of the merchandise that the cafe sells.

Panda Pet House Cafe, Shah Alam

Situated in Shah Alam, the Panda Pet House Cafe has a pet playground where you can enter and play with 6 resident cats and some rabbits, and costs just RM10 per entry (or RM5 for children below 12). Now that’s a-meow-zingly affordable.

There’s also a private room where you can play and eat with them if you like, which isn’t a surprise given that Panda Pet Houses’s ultimate goal is to become the one-stop shop that does everything for cats including but not limited to cat boarding, grooming as well as pet supplies. Thinking of organising a kid’s party? They even have a petting zoo (private function) available!

Good Meowning Cafe, Cheras

Some may consider this cat cafe in Cheras a pretty hipster joint with great hygiene as well as an awesome place to play with cats at affordable prices. The owner’s apparently pretty cool and like any cat parent, you’ll hear many stories about the cats and their personalities. Some of these cats were even in competitions and have brought home many medals.

The visits also follow a system similar to a museum’s, so you basically pay RM6 per 30 mins per entry and for most people that should be enough in the cat area. The difference is that you’d have to sanitize your hands and remove your shoes/slippers before entry, but this is all for the good of keeping the place a 100% sanitary. Most importantly, the cafe has been well decorated with cute kitty wall decals so the entire place makes any photograph Insta-worthy.

Do note though that most of the cats may be napping after 3pm, so it’s a bit of a bummer should you want to play with them or at least take photos with their eyes open.

Coffee Cottage, Subang Jaya

The purrrr-fect place to nap, Coffee Cottage is the place to spend a typical lazy Caturday afternoon as the vibes given off by the cats are just super chill and lazy. Of course, their specialty as the name suggests is coffee so if you’d like to be awake – that’s okay too!

This Subang Jaya cat cafe has been around since January 2014 serving desserts and beverages such as coffee, tea and chocolate. They also serve food and snacks, but only vegetarian foods to show their appreciation towards animals. As of now, Coffee Cottage has 10 friendly cats from a variety of breeds that were either from pet shops or rescued strays. Do try to keep an eye on these cats while sipping your coffee to prevent any cat-astrophic mishaps!

Cat Town, Seremban

Located in Seremban 2 with about 15 well-groomed and approachable cats, Cat Town is a very clean and spacious cat cafe that not only allows you to freely pet and play with their free-roaming kitties, but you also get to drink and eat (it’s been said that the waffles are a must try). Prices are RM13 for adults, RM8 for kids per entry.

There’s also a variety of interesting cat toys, fun stairs, shelves and boxes around for the cats to get under and over as well as in between – there’s even a nice giant rolling wheel for them to run in. Have you ever seen cats in a hamster wheel? You will definitely be entertained here!

Enn Cat Cafe, JB

Situated in Johor Bahru as well, this cat cafe is another place to consider for those staying close by, such as neighboring Singapore should you decide to make a pit stop before heading to Malacca or KL. This JB cat cafe is highly recommended for cat lovers who just want great company from cute cats.

A great bonus is that the food is said to be good and reasonably priced, coupled with an incredibly enthusiastic owner who loves cats and is ever willing to share his experience and tips about keeping cats. Great vibes, good food and paw-some company – what more can you ask for? Visit them right meow!
